Game of the Week: Mega Man X-2

**NintendoNut** · 07-10-2006, 02:18 PM

Seeing as the last vote was a tie (1 vote each) between this and Quest 64. Quest 64 will be the Game of the Week next week. Therefore, no nominations need take place this week.

Anyway, I don't know a lot about this game, I never played any of the Megaman series, I know it was released on the SNES and Koga's probably played it.

I only played the first Megaman X.

Koga · 07-10-2006, 03:39 PM

I actually haven'ty played this one, NN. In fact I haven't played any Mega Man X game and I can't really say why. I love the classic series, but I never bothered to try the X series, probably because I din't want to ruin the nostalgia of the first series

I played, and I like. Not as much as the first one, but I've still played through it, like, ten times (once on X Collection for the PS2).

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Eh, probably my least favorite of the SNES X games. Really catchy music though.

Codiekitty · 07-10-2006, 08:01 PM

My least favorite is X3.

The PSX ones go X5, X4, X6 from favorite to least favorite (X6 makes me want to kill things)

Not one of the best in the series(X8) but not one of the worst either(X7)

X-3 · 07-10-2006, 09:38 PM

Not a bad game at all. It's a fun, somewhat difficult game. I rate it better then X3, but not as good as X1. Yeah.

Katyrna · 07-11-2006, 12:46 AM

I really like X2. The X-Hunters were a great touch, and the music was pretty darn good. If you haven't played it, I suggest you do so. And by the way, I enjoy the X series (or at least the good ones of the series) more than the original series. Total thumbs up.

Deviot · 07-11-2006, 03:27 AM

I've only played X-4 and X-7. X-7 was a dissapointment...but X-4 is a great game. Terribly difficult for me, but fun none the less!

Sarai and Samiel · 07-11-2006, 10:12 AM

I have and have played in original format X-1 through X-7 and Command Mission. Command Mission felt too much like a bastardized FF8 or FF9 in terms of gameplay for me.

X2 was one of the better MMX's. I've never much cared for 5 or 6 compared to the others (aside from the Gaia Armor in X5, which FREAKIN' RAWX).

I like X1 best of the first three X games, though, with X2 a close second. X3, for some reason, involved a huge up-ramping in difficulty, which geared back down for X4, and the use of Zero in X3 was a bit clunky (also, while a couple of the maverick designs for X3 were pretty good, a few of them were just dumb IMHO). My only complaints about X2 are that 1. it's next to impossible to get that one armor piece in Magna Centipede's level; 2. beating the altered form of Agile in the fortress is too easy to cheap out on; and 3. that chunk at the end with the fake Zero/real Zero thing is stupid hard to get the slightly different ending with.

Great game otherwise, though, especially for an SNES game.

There isn't an armor piece at Magna Centipede's stage. Unless, of course, you're talking about the X-Hunter capsule
